Déploiement de l'attention auditive chez les jeunes adultes avec un diagnostic de "trouble du spectre de l'autisme"

Aperçu: G.M.

La difficulté à écouter dans des environnements bruyants est une plainte fréquente des personnes avec un diagnostic de "trouble du spectre de l'autisme" (dTSA). Cependant, les mécanismes sous-jacents à ces défis de traitement auditif sont inconnus. 

Cette étude préliminaire a examiné le déploiement de l'attention auditive chez les adultes avec un dTSA. Les participants ont été invités à maintenir ou à changer l'attention entre deux flux vocaux simultanés dans trois conditions: emplacement (co-localisé contre ± 30 ° de séparation), voix (même voix contre contraste homme-femme) et les deux signaux ensemble. 

Les résultats ont montré que les personnes avec un dTSA peuvent diriger l'attention de manière sélective en utilisant l'emplacement ou les indices vocaux, mais la performance était meilleure lorsque les deux signaux étaient présents. En comparaison avec les adultes neurotypiques, la performance globale était moins précise dans toutes les conditions. 

Ces résultats justifient une enquête plus approfondie sur les différences de déploiement de l'attention auditive chez les personnes avec un TSA.

Auditory Attention Deployment in Young Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Affiliations

Abstract

Difficulty listening in noisy environments is a common complaint of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, the mechanisms underlying such auditory processing challenges are unknown. This preliminary study investigated auditory attention deployment in adults with ASD. Participants were instructed to maintain or switch attention between two simultaneous speech streams in three conditions: location (co-located versus ± 30° separation), voice (same voice versus male-female contrast), and both cues together. Results showed that individuals with ASD can selectively direct attention using location or voice cues, but performance was best when both cues were present. In comparison to neurotypical adults, overall performance was less accurate across all conditions. These findings warrant further investigation into auditory attention deployment differences in individuals with ASD.
